Late to the goodbye posts, but better late than never I guess haha.
Anyway, would like to thank the many TR friends I've made over the ages. Not gonna do a shoutout because I'll know I'll forget some of you and feel bad. Sorry about that btw, I only went into all of your goodbye threads to look for my shoutout
I came here a few years ago just looking for a way to get news on one of my favorite artists and managed to find this, which, instead of being just a news site, was a legitimate community, with countless friendly, cool, weird, and hilarious posters. I posted a lot of music on here when I was very inexperienced (at least... less than I am now) and didn't get completely shot down. I was lucky enough to get a lot of advice and have been able to develop both technically and artistically as a result.
I was never really that significant enough a poster, but I was still able to see a lot of classic threads, and I'm happy I was able to be here for a good two years before it shut down. Thank you all!
